Say Goodbye to those Lonely Hotel Nights
Millions of people at this very moment are sat in their hotel
rooms, in every city in the world, looking forward to a night of
room service food and boredom. The adventurous ones venture down
into the hotel restaurant and spend dinner trying to look
interested in the small writing on the back of the ketchup
bottle.
Business travel now accounts for up to 60% of all travel and
with up to 80% of business travel being solo. It makes for a lot
of lonely people and very difficult recruiting for those
employers that like their employees to spend a significant
amount of time away from home.
The crazy thing is that it's highly likely the person in the
next room is in exactly the same situation. A really bold person
might just go knock on a few doors and say "how 'bout a beer",
chances are after hitting just two doors, a single occupant
would be found.
The hotel industry knows these statistics well and caters to
single occupancy guests with room service dining, movies on
demand and high speed internet access. Not to mention the
delights of the over-priced under-nutritious mini bar. Single
occupancy guests are higher spenders per room on all of these
additional features, as double occupancy and group guests tend
to go out more often and purchase outside the hotel.
An enterprising new web site, www.travellersmeetingpoint.com has
picked up on this problem and offers a solution to the boredom
faced by millions. By simply joining the site and searching or
entering a travel schedule, people can contact other people that
will be in the same location, at the same time, looking for the
same thing.
Imagine if people could find a training partner or tennis buddy
wherever they went, or simply just meet up with others for a
chat over a drink or dinner. Those long lonely hotel nights
could be a thing of the past.
Travellers meeting point is also a business solution for those
businesses that rely on the visitor community for their income.
Advertisers on the site can directly and cost effectively target
visitors to any location in the world, through its unique "great
services & places to meet" link. Local and international
businesses alike can easily target the very lucrative out of
town visitor market. At only $5 per week for a full page ad it
